YTN and the Technology Industry Employers of Finland have approved the negotiation result achieved on Friday as the collective agreement for senior salaried employees in the consulting sector.
The agreement will come into effect on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, and will be valid until November 30th, 2027, but the last year can be terminated by either party. The agreement covers approximately 25,000 senior salaried employees. The agreement is generally binding, meaning all companies in the sector must adhere to it.
The salary solution is primarily aimed to be agreed locally. If a local salary solution is not reached, the so-called fallbacks will be applied. In the fallbacks, the salary increases for the agreement period total 7.8 percent, of which the general increases account for 5.0 percent.
The fallbacks are distributed over the years 2025, 2026, and 2027, so that the general increases for everyone are 2.0 percent, 1.5 percent, and 1.5 percent, and the employer-distributed increases are 0.5 percent, 1.4 percent, and 0.9 percent.
The salary solution corresponds to the salary solution agreed by YTN in the technology industry. In terms of overall cost impact, it is also the same as the agreement negotiated by Pro for salaried employees in the consulting sector. The only difference is in the 2026 fallbacks, where Pro has a general increase of 2.1 percent and YTN has 1.5 percent. In that case, the employer contribution for senior salaried employees is correspondingly larger.
